Child serial killer Lucy Letby loses Court of Appeal bid to challenge her murder and attempted...

Three of the country's most senior judges ruled the 34-year-old former neo-natal nurse will not be allowed to challenge the guilty verdicts of the jury at Manchester Crown Court.

Letby is due to face a retrial next month on a single count that she attempted to murder a baby girl, known as Baby K, in February 2016. 'Lucy Letby…put forward four grounds of appeal, each of which involved a position that the trial judge wrongly refused applications that she made during her trial,' the judge said. 'This court has, having heard that application, directed to refuse leave to appeal on all grounds and refused all associated applications.'

The jury was unable to reach verdicts on six counts of attempted murder in relation to five other children.
